GSA welcomes NSPCC helpline and Ofsted review

31 March 2021

The GSA is pleased to learn that the Government will launch a new NSPCC-run helpline to support potential victims of sexual harassment and abuse in education settings.

It is vital that we listen to those who have so bravely spoken out and that we provide avenues for others who have been abused to come forward to be heard and supported.

We also welcome Ofsted’s immediate review of safeguarding policies in schools.

All schools – and the wider school community – have a crucial part to play in helping to develop respectful, responsible and empathetic young people and these developments will, we hope, identify practical steps schools can take as they consider what more they can do to educate young people about sex and healthy relationships.

Donna Stevens, GSA Chief Executive
